"Man's government is like playing chess. A small skill can be compared to a big one. Today, there are preparations, needs and urgency. Those who are good at chess will be able to save the situation according to the urgency. Today's urgency , that is to say, it must be established; what is necessary now is to achieve it completely. There are only four key places in the world that must be fought for, and the Central Plains is basically in the south of the Yangtze River??"
At Fushui Villa in Changshu County, Jiangsu Province, white-haired Qian Qianyi was writing furiously to persuade Zhu Hengjia to march to the south of the Yangtze River.
Next to her, Liu Rushi, who looked really good-looking in red makeup, was silently studying the ink for Lao Qian.
Sixty-eight-year-old Qian Qianyi doesn't look old at all. He writes with great vigor. People can't help but be surprised by the power of love to make people younger!
Liu Rushi smiled charmingly: "Husband, you have repeatedly urged the Supervisory State to point its sword at Jinling, but the Supervisory State has always said that the time is not yet ripe. Will you listen to you this time?"
Qian Qianyi was very high-spirited and talked eloquently: "The Jianguo has captured Wuchang, and everything south of the river is under your Highness's care. Jinling is also a place of great wealth and the place where Emperor Gao made his trip. I expect that Your Highness will adopt it this time." ”.
At this point, Lao Donglin suddenly became arrogant and wrote: "Master Wang urgently goes north to Dongting without any hesitation. But as soon as he enters the Yangtze River, there will be more noises everywhere... I By being able to consolidate the foundation, recharge our energy, restore Chu and the rivers, and conquer the capital, Heaven's heart has changed, and people's plans have allowed Zang."
Zhu Hengjia couldn't help but laugh when he saw Qian Qianyi's hair.
"This Qian Qianyi is really persistent. He went to Shu to persuade me to enter Jinling."
The food is stuttering. Now Fujian and Zhejiang have not yet been conquered. North of Wuchang, the Qing army still occupies the military important area of Xiangyang. More importantly, just after pacifying Sichuan, Yan Tianfeng's troops are marching into Fujian. Money is flowing out like a sea, and the country is The treasury is almost empty again. Without money, how can Ranggu point his sword at Jinling?
Although he still did not intend to adopt Qian Qianyi's suggestion this time, Zhu Hengjia did not want to dampen the old man's patriotism. He wrote to him and told him that he was preparing to send troops to Jiangnan and asked him to contact the Jiangnan martyrs and choose the opportunity.
Qian Qianyi likened national events to playing chess, which aroused Zhu Hengjia's chess addiction. He was a bad chess player, but he loved this game the most. Between black and white, there are endless wonderful things.
In the beginning, Zhu Hengjia liked to play chess with Concubine Shi Xian and Huang Libin. The two women were highly skilled in chess and extremely intelligent. They deliberately gave away a few pieces every time. When they played chess with them, they won every time, and they won just right without leaving any traces. , let yourself be arrogant and think that you are the best player in the world.
As a result, the good feeling was ruined by Chen Shufei.
Once, the great player Zhu Hengjia went to play in the palace of Chen Shufei. He had nothing to do and played a game of chess. Chen Shufei was the cousin of Yang Guowei who had died heroically for his country. She was a fierce general and a strong-willed woman. She refused to give in and defeated Zhu Hengjia.< /p>
Zhu Hengjia was surprised: "Oh, I didn't expect that Ai Fei's chess skills are so good, that she can even win the game! The number one chess player in the harem is none other than Ai Fei!"
"Pfft", Concubine Chen Shu smiled, "My meager skills are not worth mentioning. Sister Xianfei and sister Libi are the masters of this skill. I have never won against them in games."
"What? Their chess skills are better than my concubine's?"
From then on, Zhu Hengjia suddenly realized that Concubine Shi and Huang Wan had been letting him go.
Although I know that they let me go because they love me, we can't give in when we play chess. Once we give in, it will be boring.
After that, as soon as Zhu Hengjia became addicted to chess, he would play with Chen Shufei. What he needed was this feeling of not giving in!
Qian Qianyi said that in the game of chess, there are players who are ready to play, some who are cautious, and some who are anxious. The capture of Zhoushan was Zhu Hengjiabu’s plan.
It's a pity that this important feature has not played much role so far.
After He Tengjiao, Yang Huai, Lin Cha and others occupied Zhoushan, they only sent their generals Wang Xing, Yu Long, Du Zixiang, Li Rubi and others to harass Yuyao, Cixi and Dinghai counties. Each time they sent only a few thousand troops, they would only hit them and then run away. The main force Stay in Zhoushan and dare not go out.
The reason why we dare not send out the main force is because the Putuo Mountain Island and Luojiashan Island to the east of Zhoushan are occupied by Dingxihou Zhang Mingzhen, the general of Lu Jianguo, and Zhang Huangyan, the leader of the Pingxibo Dynasty.
He Tengjiao was afraid that once his main force left Zhoushan, the Lu army would take advantage of the situation and occupy the magpie's nest. He was a master of conspiracy, so he naturally guarded against others plotting against him.
This is not okay!
Zhu Hengjia ordered He Tengjiao to force King Lu to abdicate and return to the feudal vassal as soon as possible, no matter what method was used, and to recruit his army.
??
Lu Supervisor Zhu Yihai is in a good mood recently.
He fought with his roommate and defeated Zheng Cai. Not only did he avenge Xiong Rulin and Zheng Zunqian, he also recruited more than ten thousand Zheng Cai's troops, greatly increasing his strength.
When I become stronger, I no longer want to stay at the Jiantiao Center in Linhai County, Zhejiang. It is just a small place by the sea and is difficult to develop.
Zhu Yihai is a dragon, so the dragon must enter the sea and make waves.
So, he returned to Fujian with his troops and captured Shacheng. Shacheng was once his hometown and he was very familiar with the terrain in this area.
Hearing that "Lu Ni" who had been beaten away by him was back, Qing Jingnan General Chen Tai was furious. He ordered Gai Yipeng and Qiang Shijue to lead the navy to attack Shacheng from the sea; he led Chen Jin and Dong Alai Generals Li Shutai, Ji Xiha, and Zu Zeyuan attacked Shacheng from the land along Pumen.
"Reporting to the Supervisor State, the Qinglu Navy Division has arrived at Dazhen Camp and the Army Division has arrived at Tongshan Fort." The scouts found out about the military situation.
Thirty-three-year-old Zhu Yihai is covered in armor and looks majestic. This Tianhuang nobleman has received a good education since he was a child. There is an air of nobility in his speech and behavior that is impressive.
When soldiers come to block it, when water comes and earth comes to cover it, calmly issue military orders to fend off the enemy.
"Anyang General Liu Shixun, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Mingyang, Zhongzhen Commander-in-Chief Ma Tai, you three will lead the troops to guard Pumen Station, and we must hold back the Qing army!"
"The last general takes command!"
"General Jingyang Zhang Ying, commander-in-chief Ruan Shu, Ruan Yu, and you will lead the troops to garrison Shacheng!"
"The last general takes command!"
"Dang Hu Bo, Ruan Jin, Ruan Jun, Gu Zhong, Luo Yunzhang, Bao Guoxiang, Ruan Ping, Zheng Lin, Li Yingjie, Fu Wenhuan, and you went to sea to fight with Gu, first destroyed the Qinglu navy, and then returned to Shacheng to defeat the mainland.
"Teacher".
"The last general takes command!"
The navy has always been the weak spot of the Qing army. Although the Qing Fujian Navy chief Gai Yipeng and deputy general Qiang Shijue have been building warships, warships are easy to come by, but skilled sailors are hard to find. The navy has not yet been fully trained.
Gai and Qiang didn't want to go to war, but they couldn't disobey military orders, so they had no choice but to set off.
The reason why Zhu Yihai had the confidence to defeat the Qing navy was mainly because of one person: Dang Hu Bo and Ruan Jin.
Yes, Ruan Jin, Ruan Jin who is not afraid of death.
This man was originally a helmsman from Fujian, but later became a small pirate and wandered the sea. He was recruited by Zhang Mingzhen.
At first, Zhu Yihai thought he was a pirate and didn't think highly of him. As a result, that year, Aixinjuero Bolo defeated Zhu Yihai. The traitor general Zhang Guozhu intercepted Zhu Yihai's palace family members, the crown prince, and
Chasing Zhu Yihai to Zhoushan. Zhang Guozhu was known as a brave man, and all the generals did not dare to fight. Only Ruan Jin did not believe in evil, and led four small boats to rush towards Zhang Guozhu's more than a hundred large ships. "The autumn waves are strong, take advantage of them."
"Every gun will be smashed to pieces", Zhang Guozhu was defeated and fled.
After the battle, Zhu Yihai was particularly kind to Ruan Jin, and Ruan Jin lived up to his kindness. He defeated the Qing navy many times with less and more.
The Navy is Zhu Yihai's support, and Ruan Jin is the soul of the Lu Army Navy.
Zhu Yihai personally boarded the ship and raised the royal flag. The morale of the generals was greatly boosted when they saw the supervisory country marching in person.
Ruan Jin even led the boat to the front.
"Coming!"
The Ming army sentry ship sounded the alarm.
Qing warships appeared on the horizon one after another.
Most of the ships of the Qing army were newly built and very large. There were actually quite a few No. 1 and No. 2 Dafu Ships. In addition to being equipped with thousand-jin Fran cannons, they were also equipped with three-thousand-jin red cannons.
"Boom!"
As if it was a demonstration, a cannonball exploded in front of the Ming army's formation.
Incomparable to the rich and powerful Qing court, Lu Jianguo's navy mostly consisted of small boats, mainly bird boats and clippers, and the largest ones were just sentry boats and Haicang boats.
However, Lu Jianguo's subordinates had been wandering at sea for many years. Although their boats were small, they were well-trained and their ability to control the boats was much better than that of the Qing army.
Ruan Jin stood on a large sentinel ship, observing the enemy ships with a telescope. Seeing the enemy's fleet, the formations were chaotic, and the advance and retreat were disorderly, he couldn't help but sneer. Do these Tatars think that big ships can win water battles?
He hoisted the flag and personally led ten sentinel ships to the center. He ordered his son Ruan Jun and nephew Ruan Ping to lead ten Haicang ships each to the left and right and charge into the enemy's formation.
"As expected of the lonely Uncle Huber!"
Seeing Ruan Jin's bravery, Zhu Yihai praised him greatly and ordered Luo Yunzhang, Bao Guoxiang, Zheng Lin, Li Yingjie, and Fu Wenhuan to lead the fleet to follow him, and he also moved forward on a big fortune ship.
"You, the son of a rich man, cannot sit in the palace, so you should take command from behind," General Gu Zhong advised.
Zhu Yihai refused to listen: "As a prisoner of the country alone, how can we shrink back? Forward!"
Seeing that Jian Guo was following up, Ruan Jin moved faster.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The Qing army's artillery bombardment was lively, but unfortunately the navy had just expanded and the gunners lacked experience in naval warfare, so most of their shots missed.
"Boom!"
Ruan Jin's men were all veteran sailors, and they set a Qing bird ship in front of them on fire with one shot.
Ruan Jin held a telescope and looked for the Qing army's flagship. This was his usual trick, specifically targeting the enemy's command ship.
"Found it!"
A Qing army Dafu ship with flags flying appeared in sight, and a large word "cover" on the ship was clearly visible.
Gai Yipeng was commanding his troops to launch a water battle when he suddenly saw a Ming army sentinel ship approaching him quickly.
After firing a few cannons, Ruan Jin's ship entered the blind spot of the Qing ship's cannons, and both sides began to shoot with muskets and bows and arrows.
"Set fireball!"
Ruan Jin's ship was equipped with a throwing machine, and the old sailors used the throwing machine to shoot the ignited fireballs towards Gai Yipeng's ship.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The fireball bounced across the ship, igniting a fire.
Soon, Gai Yipeng's boat caught fire. Seeing that the situation was not good, he took a small boat to escape.
Qiang Shijue, the deputy general of the Qing army in the rear formation, saw that his commander's warship was on fire and thought that Gai Yipeng had been killed. He hurriedly raised the command flag and ordered the entire army to retreat.
"Victory!"
The Ming Navy was in jubilation.
??
Pumensuo is just a small earthen castle, no more than ten feet high.
Liu Shixun, Zhang Mingyang, and Ma Tai led nine thousand soldiers to stop the Qing army here.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Qing army's artillery blasted several large holes in the fort wall.
Fuca Jixiha led his eight banners, dismounted in front of the fort wall and shot arrows to cover the infantry siege.
"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"
Raindrops of arrows fell into the fort.
Li Shutai and Zu Zeyuan's infantry rushed towards the fort wall like a tide.
Liu Shixun chopped down a Qing soldier who broke in through the gap and ordered his men to block the gap.
"General Liu, my brothers can't stand it anymore, withdraw!"
Zhang Mingyang and Ma Tai begged Liu Shixun for mercy.
"Retreat? Where to retreat? The military order given to us by the Supervisor is to defend Pumen Station and hold back the Qing army. Man, I will die like a horse leather. This is where I will die for my country!"
After Liu Shixun finished speaking, he glanced at General Zhang and Ma with contempt.
Zhang Mingyang was furious: "I said to withdraw because of the lives of my subordinates, not because of fear of war. How can Brother Liu underestimate the world's heroes?"
After saying this, he angrily attacked the Qing troops who rushed up the city wall.
Ma Tai said nothing, gave Liu Shixun a military salute, and turned around to fight.
After two hours of fierce fighting, the small Pumen Station was still in the hands of the Ming army.
"Li Shutai and Zu Zeyuan, these two losers, what kind of a war are they fighting! It took a long time to attack a small earth city but they couldn't capture it!"
Niu Hulu and Chen Tai were furious and summoned Alai, the governor of Mele Zhangjing.
"Dong Alai Zhangjing, you are our brave and skilled general in Manchuria. Give you an hour. If you can't take this city in an hour, come here to see me!"
"The general will get his order!"
Dong Alai led a group of Eight Banners soldiers to rush towards the gap opened by the cannon.
The gap was blocked by sandbags piled up by the Ming army.
Dong Alai jumped up, jumped over the sandbags, slashed several times, and cut down several Ming soldiers. The Eight Banners soldiers behind him also imitated Dong Alai, climbed over the sandbags and rushed towards the city.
"Bah," Zhang Mingyang spat and killed Dong Alai.
"Bang!"
Dong Alai held the knife in his left hand to block Zhang Mingyang's offensive, and the tiger spear in his right hand plunged into Zhang Mingyang's abdomen like a ghost.
"Dog Tartar", Zhang Mingyang cursed and fell to the ground after exhausting his strength.
Zu Zeyuan attacked the fortress wall and saw the seriously injured Ma Tai, covered in blood, standing against the wall.
He shouted: "Whoever surrenders will avoid death!"
Ma Tai smiled contemptuously: "Dog Tatar, remember grandpa's name, Ma Tai, the commander-in-chief of Ming Zhongzhen." After saying this, he hugged a Qing soldier and fell off the city wall.
The shouts of killing gradually subsided, leaving only Ming Dynasty Anyang General Liu Shixun still resisting.
The blood dyed the shirt red, there were countless wounds on the body, and the blade of the knife was also curled.
Upon seeing this, Dong Alai praised: "This is a good guy, give him a good time!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
His subordinates fired arrows at random, and Liu Shixun was killed.
After capturing Pumensuo, Chen Tai did not rest and marched his army straight towards Shacheng.
Chen Jin asked for instructions: "Commander, the soldiers are tired from fighting for a long time. Do you want to let them rest for a while before fighting again?"
Chen Tai's face sank: "No, the soldiers are very quick, set off immediately!"
Not everyone is determined to fight to the death.
When General Jingyang Zhang Ying, General General Ruan Shu, and General Ruan Yu, who were guarding Shacheng, heard that Pumen had been lost, Liu Shixun, Zhang Mingyang, and Ma Tai were martyred. They were shocked and turned pale. After a little resistance, they abandoned the city and fled.< / p>
The Qing army was so fast that Ruan Shu and Ruan Yu did not escape and died in the chaos.
Zhang Ying escaped by luck and reported to Lu Jianguo.
Seeing that he had lost Sha Cheng, Zhu Yihai had no choice but to return to his hometown, Zhejiang Jiantiao Institute.
??
This time, the Qing army didn't want him to jump around anymore and was determined to eradicate the root cause.
Chen Tai called for Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and said, "Chen Duxian, this Lu Ni has fled back to Zhejiang. I want Du Xian to go to Zhejiang to destroy Lu Ni. I don't know what Du Xian's intention is?"
"Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. It is my duty as the governor!"
When Chen Jin came to Zhejiang, he didn't even drink tea. He directly discussed with Zhejiang Admiral Tian Xiong and Zhejiang Governor Xiao Qiyuan about the opportunity to attack Jiantiao.
Finally, it was agreed that Xiao Qiyuan, the governor of Zhejiang, and Zhang Jie, the commander-in-chief of Dinghai, would station troops in the counties of Ningbo Prefecture to guard against the Ming army in Zhoushan; Chen Jin would lead the admiral Tian Xiong, and the commander-in-chief Ma Jinbao of Jinhua would attack Jiantiao Station from the land route, and the commander-in-chief Wang Shen of Wu Song Navy would Take the sea route to Sanmen Bay and attack Jiantiao Station.
Zhu Yihai did not expect that the Qing army would attack him again so soon. His army had just returned to Zhejiang from Fujian and was very tired, so he had to rush to fight.
In the battle of Jiantiaosuo, the Ming army fought bravely, and even the women and children in the city went to the city to kill the enemy.
However, they were outnumbered and poorly prepared. After holding on for half a month, Jiantiao City finally fell.
Once his old nest was lost, Zhu Yihai became a homeless wanderer. Where is his destination in the vast sea?
Hu Bo Ruan Jin asked Zhu Yihai: "Jian Guo, where are we going?"
Zhu Yihai composed himself: "Go to Putuo Island in Zhoushan, find Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, and pacify the Xibo Dynasty."
